I understand that we get 1 like on each of the big 3 social media networks - but how else do we get points? Didn't commenting used to get points?

I don't think commenting gets anything anymore.It is confusing at best, sometimes I get points for liking and sometimes I do not.

Do we get points if some one visits a post through a link we shared on some social media?

There is not even a facebook share button - just the "like" button. But unfortunately, the like button does not allow me to comment on why I want my Friends & Family to read the article. And to me, the "reasons" that I share an article are important to me and to them.

I tried it. When I add a comment and click to post to Facebook, it does post the article with my comment to my Timeline.As I said, maybe you didn't grant MakeUseOf permission to post to your Timeline at one point. Not sure what else the issue could be.

You should be receiving points for sharing if you are logged in. There is a daily limit, though.

Yep, it used to be straight forward but now its a whole new ball game. My points havnt moved in days and days despite answering questions frequently.

With the new system we cannot issues points for Likes. That's a bit of a downer, but we're hoping to replace that with other ways to earn points. As Justin said, James is super busy and we are going through a significant transition, so unfortunately, this can't be a priority right now.

There are tougher daily restrictions to prevent the system being gamed, but there are also new ways of gaining points being added in the future. Watch this space.

The means of earning points does not appear to have changed much, just the limits that are set to prevent gaming the system. So commenting and sharing on social networks is still adding to the total as is following/liking on your social networks.
